Helping Lower Cholesterol: Dietary Changes

As part of a heart-healthy diet, eating certain foods that contain soluble fibre can help lower your cholesterol. These include:

  • Whole grain foods made from oats and barley
  • Whole grain oat cereal
  • Oatmeal

How can we help?
3 grams of soluble fibre daily from whole grain oat foods, like original Cheerios* and Honey Nut Cheerios* cereal, in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may help reduce the risk of heart disease. Original Cheerios* cereal provides 1 gram per serving; Honey Nut Cheerios* cereal provides 0.75 gram per serving.
